Soaring temperatures can wreak havoc with your skincare regimen, with many products feeling too heavy on hot, sweaty days. This is when jelly-based beauty products really come into their own. They combine light formulas with deep hydration, meaning these Korean beauty must haves are ideal to add to your Summer skincare checklist (along with your sunscreen, of course). We've rounded up an array of jelly-textured cleansers, moisturisers, masks, scrubs, and eye treatments from your favourite brands to help you achieve that dewy glow even during a heatwave.
